The RMS Queen Mary |
A job that puts you in charge is a Master Mariner or more
simply a ship’s Captain. In the days before the invention of radios the captain
of the ship was often called the Master before
God, because as soon as the ship left the dock the responsibility for the
ship, cargo and crew was his sole responsibility. It remained so until the ship
came back home. Some of his other duties include the navigation of the ship, the managing of the crew and
being sure that the vessel was operating within local and international laws.
This does not even include his duties to the shipowners or the policies of the
nation whose flag he is sailing under.
The ship's captain manages the affairs of the ship and all
the ship's personnel that are under him. He is also responsible that a ship
complies with all the immigration and customs laws. The captain also maintains
the ship's compliance with the security plan that is mandated by the
International Maritime Corp. this includes maintaining all the ship
certification in any other documentation.
The ship's captain also manages and commands the entire crew
of the ship and is usually in charge of all the ships accounting, payrolls and
inventory. He is also responsible with all the immigration and customs
regulations of any country where his ship makes port. Another of his duties is
keeping the ship's certificates and other documentation as well as the ship
security plan, as required by the International Maritime Organization. In case of accidents, incidents and in the
case of injury or sickness among either the ship's crew or passengers he is the
responsible party.
The requirements for having this job is; having a Master
mariner's license that is issued by the country under whose flag ship is
sailing. There are various types of licenses in existence that specify the
maximum vessel size, in gross tonnage, that he is entitled to command. If he
holds an unlimited master's license is allowed to operate any vessel anywhere
in the world.
Restricted tonnage licenses include such vessels that way
down to 100 gross tons or less. Some of the examples of these licenses adding
eerie stricter geographic scope include licenses issued by the United States
Coast Guard for the Great Lakes , inland waters or the
near coastal waters.
To get a unlimited master's license requires many years of
experience at sea folding such licenses as third mate, second mate and chief
mate.
I wish it was at sea under navigation to May also represent
some of the other official of Doherty's found online and like a notary public,
Justice of the peace, and police any as the official power to use them. Some
situations at sea may require the use of deadly force like mutiny or pirates or
anything to defend the interests of the country under slide the sales, the
owner, environment, cargo owners, crew, passengers and the laws required for
safe navigation.
The captain also has the power during navigation to override
any other official authorities that are on board. Even under modern conditions
the ship's captain is still in effect Master before God including all persons aboard,
crew and passengers alike, while conforming to the nautical and navigation laws
that must remain under the command or authority of the ship’s captain.
